WHO WORKED ON THAT AIRPLANE YOU FLEW IN LAST WEEK? - ping.

======================================

The criminal complaint against Percy Alberto Vega, 53, of 127 Meadowood St., says he lied about his experience and qualifications to take the test for an "air frame and power plant" certification from the FAA.

TIMCO HR Person: "Are you sure you have the necessary experience?"

Vega: Si Senor

TIMCO HR Person: "You have the certification?"

Vega: Si Senor

TIMCO HR Person: "Wecome to TIMCO"

The employers that ignore our laws and continue to hire illegal immigrants are holding the rest of this country hostage. We need to encourage our leaders to stand up to them.

TIMCO deserves to be fined out the arse, at a minimum.

But they are doing jobs Americans won't do!

Of course!! LOL.

And, if it bothers us that our health care system is adversely impacted, then the answer is simple - we should quit providing health care.

And, if it bothers us that our public school system is adversely impacted, then (again) the answer is simple - we should just close our public schools.

And, if it bothers us that American employers who obey our laws have difficulty competing with those who won't, then (again) the answer is simple - the law abiding employers should either find another way to make a living or begin breaking our laws.

And, if it bothers us that that illegal immigrants are camping in the bushes in our back yards, then (once again) the answer is simple - we should just sell our back yards to someone who isn't so sensitive.

But did he pass the test?

Amazing

"But did he pass the test?"

===================

The ragheads who flew their own airline on 9/11 didn't pass the test either.

Simple lets all take the Air frame and power plant exam .I need to fill in some spaces on my wall better than giving them to roaches.How about the Bar exam while we are at it and a Medical license (always wanted to be a brain surgeon)

[sgtbono2002]

I think this guy was a Mexican.

Shoot, I can solve the nursing crisis. As a healthcare recruiter I can recruit Mexican nurses and illegally place them using fake credentials. As long as they can do the job cheaper I don't think anyone would mind...and I can make millions.

Not to worry, the criminal illegal foreign alien mechanics only work on engines that American mechanics won't work on.

You know, I don't think there has ever been a more costly crime in the history of America than what we see now in the illegal hiring of illegal immigrants. What criminal conduct in our history was ever this costly?

Like I said, this group of employers who refuse to abide by our immigration and employment laws are holding this entire country hostage. How long will it be before someone stands up to them?

We have been. For years. They don't care. I'm not a big conspiracy fan, but I believe this is one of those areas where some businesses lobbied various people in Washington to look the other way.

The only way anything will be done about this issue, is if we have a major crash or terrorist attack that can be traced back to lax security on our southern border, or hiring of illegals. Even then, the airlines, etc., will be lobbying hard to place the blame elsewhere.

Well, of course, you're absolutely right. These employers may not have much respect for our laws, but they respect political power and they obviously have a lot of clout. That's why it's so hard for some of our leaders to stand up to them. Our leaders need to know that most of the American peoplw will back them in this struggle.

It's about leadership and guts. ;-)
